Lost

Chapter 3

  For the rest of the day it was the same.Teachers introducing what we'll be doing in class and assigned seats in order for them to learn our names.The only positive thing that happen today was that we weren't assigned any homework since it was the first day of school.

  As I walked to my last period class which was Theater and Dance class. As I enter the sanitorium I notice that everyone was sitting down and talking to eavh other.I took a seat away from everyone and waited for our instructions.

Once the bell rang everyone became quiet.

  A brown headed women in her late twenties stood up and waited until everyone was paying attention.

  "My name is Ms.Collins and when that bell rings everyone should be changing or already changed, depending on how early you come to this class."she said this while pacing on stage and making eye contact along the way.

  "If you are not in here when the bell rings don't even bother to come in, I will not have any uncommitted student in my class."she stopped pacing and made eye contact with everyone once again.

  "My rules are simple, be here and learn about yourself in a way you never thought of before. If for a reason you are not able to do this simple task, I'll make sure that you'll have a study hall."she said seriously

  "In this class you will learn the true meaning of dance and theater and know how a performance has a deep meaning behind its movements and words.Now lets get started. in order for me to see how you think, I'll be doing a performance. "

  We all watched as she went to her computer and put a 'song'.I saw how her movements were based on how the rhythm was and not the few words said.For a strange reason I found myself on a trance.I knew what her movements were expressing. Love.Hatred. Sadness. I knew the last one to well.

  Once she finished dancing she started passing some flashcards to everyone.

  "In this flashcard I need you to write your first and last name along with what you think the dance message you found. "she instructed.

  Once I got my flashcard I wrote my name.What should I write? Before I know it my hand is moving rapidly across the notecard.I picked it up and handed it to Ms.Collins.As I made my way back where I was sitting I heard the bell rang. My eyes became wide I was amazed on how time past quickly.

  "Once you turn in your card you are free to go and tomorrow you have to bring a change of clothing.You can also bring dancing shoes if you like along with a water bottle."she told us as we made our way to the schools front door.

  I quickly go to my locker and put some of my stuff inside.I was almost running as I made my way to the front doors. Once I made it outside I notice my mom's car.When I enter she quickly drove away from my new school and she didn't talk to me the whole ride home.

  When we came home I got out of the car and open the door with my key.I made my way to my room and I put my bag on the floor.I let out a sigh and I throw myself in my bed. I stay there for a few minutes tjen I got up and change into a t-shirt and some shorts.

  I made my way to the kitchen and I heard my father talking to a client or co-worker on the phone. I open the fridge and took out some turkey, tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, cheese, and bread to make a sandwich. I put it back once I was done and was making my way back, but stopped once I heard my mother calling my name.

  "Yes mother?"I ask her as I enter her office.

  "Tomorrow your father's friends and mine are coming and I want you to be in your best behavior. is that understood? "she asked. I nodded my head and she signal me to leave.

  That night I took a quick shower ans set my alarm.I lay awake for several minutes thinking of today's events, but mostly about what Ms.Collins said today, about things having a deeper meanings. With that I lay my head in my pillow and fell asleep seconds later.
